Sweet Six

I also went shopping last week and had fun playing with some new supplies.

I started with the fun dp that I bought last week, and matched it with the pearlised paper, which I embossed with the Bird Call folder.

The dp has a shiny finish to it, and the coloured lines are slightly raised.

The circular motif was a digi freebie by Cindy Close I copied ages ago. It was printed on a linen textured card and sprayed with silver shimmer mist, then mounted over the silver plant wrap I used on a card before Christmas. I added the pearls and mounted all this with foam dots to give some dimension.

The balance of the join between the papers was covered with a scrap of lace - the last of a piece I received in a RAK from Melisa of Paperlicious Designs - and a wee piece of ribbon.

The card still looked rather 'grown up' for a six year old, so after rabbiting through my stash I found these gorgeous puffy heart stickers I had been given some time ago. Once I had added them I was more than happy with the result.

Love the shimmery pink paper embossed with one of my personal favorites! So many wonderful details here, the lace trim and pink ribbon, all of the subtle details around the "6" circle, the puffy heart stickers, all of it ties together so well!

About Me

I am first and foremost a Christian, who was married to a most wonderful Godly man for 43 years. We were/I am blessed with two adult offspring and three beautiful grandchildren. There are also others in our 'patchwork family' whom we love dearly.

I am a New Zealander, aka a Kiwi, and have lived here all my life, although I have traveled to Australia and Tonga for holidays.

I love crafting and gardening. Housework and cooking are inescapable essentials!!
